Ingredients
- 1 1 fillet salmon or steelhead trout about 2 ½ lbs
- 2 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1 teaspoon olive oil
- chopped fresh dill to top
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you'd like, remove the skin from the salmon. See notes.
- Lay the salmon on the baking sheet and sprinkle the top with chili powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, and sea salt. Drizzle with the oil then pat the oil and spices so that they form a paste on top of the salmon.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. When the salmon is done cooking, it will feel firm but still give a little when you press a finger into the top. If you have a meat thermometer, it should read 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve with the chopped fresh dill on top.

Notes
- To remove the skin from the salmon, lay the fish skin side down on a flat surface with the tail end (the small end) towards your dominant hand. Cut straight down through the flesh (but not the skin!) very close to the end then turn your knife on a 45-degree angle and slide it along the fish. It helps to use one hand to pull the skin taut while you slide the knife. It's a little tricky at first, but after you do it a few times it becomes pretty easy.Also, make sure the knife you use is super sharp!
